Ah... Elvis. That is along the same line as mine. Check the Weekly World News, there is always a conspiracy that he is alive and had faked his death. Most celebs back in the day were surrounded by rumors of faking their end.

Maybe the Heath question was to soon for some, but I was just asking a queston that I figured would stir some response.

The handful of friends you discussed it with gave a mixed response in the same way that 10 or 20 people would here. Whether its 5 people or 105, the response, on average, will be the same. Mixed.

Why shouldn't he ask it? It was something that he had a discussion about that relates to conversations we've had here on this board, and he wanted simple reactions. What's the being f**kin deal?

I'm not telling him he shouldn't ask it, I'm saying he should have used a little judgement over what his question amounted to particularly as he already had a good idea as to what the responses would be.

Whoa.. hold on a second here folks. I never said it was true, or a good idea, or even the fact that I liked or disliked the idea.

I simply said I was looking for a wider range of opinions, because the people I had this conversation with were mixed.

I suppose asking a question is in poor taste, if you want to call it that... but it was just a question.

Ironically, I get accused of drugs asking a question about a guy who was dumb enough to kill himself with to many drugs, but for the record, I was on the negative opinion about the whole hoax angle, yet get accused of a supporter of the whole idea, and yes we were bored.

The people involved in such a stunt would be sick to the core and you would need to go and rethink your life for suggesting such an idea.

Hypothetical or not, what you're proposing is that, for the sake of promoting a movie, a Mother, Father, Partner and child must pretend (for the sake of a stunt and a buck) that their Son, Partner, Father killed himself, accidentally or otherwise and is just waiting for a release date to reveal that, "Surprise! No I'm not dead. It was just a silly stunt to promote a Summer Movie".

Put yourself in the family's position for just 1 minute and see if floating your hypothetical question was a good or bad idea.

Call me old fashioned but I believe it was a poor decision on your part.

I was having this discussion with a friend, and although it is not DVD related, I was looking for a wider opinion of it.

Now take a second before you answer, and really think about it.

Imagine if the whole Heath Ledger this was faked by him, and Chris Nolan, and a few suits at Warner Bros.

Now... just before The Dark Knight comes out, Heath in full makeup shows up in a very public setting, and stages a "Why so serious?" rant. Disappears, and does it again, in a few very public settings before the movie premiers.

All the people involved (i.e. Mary-Kate Olsen, Michelle Williams, family, friends, NYPD...) all secretly know the truth that he has been hiding in another country.

Besides watching how his name has been now accociated with drug use, and seen how people really react to him...

Knowing it could not happen, unless it was the greatest publicity machine in history to keep it under wraps...

What would you think of him, the movie, the people involved, and the ballsyness of a promotional campaign of this magnitude???
